These same factions kept the disorganized for nearly two ' months, while every day the welkin, was I made to ring with traitorous threats of la "dissolution of the Union." If such scenes can be enacted on the mere election of a Speaker, what may be ' expected if the election of President is i thrown into the same body? It ia now admitted that there is a very large party rof 'determined' "disunionists' in the country. A'class of desperate politi cians, who have, for years, bent all their energies to the disruption t)f the Union. While the Democratic party was united ;this -fact war denied by thjs Northern leaders.. But since the split ..in . the party, JDpuglas himself, and all bis Northern supporters, admit nay, charge home, the fact of "disunionisni" upon the Breckinridge wing of the party. Tlw Bell mon admit the same fact. No honest man can deny that the purpose of one wing at least of the Democratic party is to destroy the Union our fathers made and, consecrated 'by their wisdom and their virtues. No class of our citizens . can. have any sympathy, with, the treasonable schemes of thes? disu- nionists. And yet, strange as it mayrap pcar, ttp DougltiSipartyj.and the leaders of the Bell party, arc,, -unconsciously, as we hope, working into the hands of these Very plotters against the peace and per manency of our country. Look at it! These parties, professing tq.be in favor of the Union, are combining together to defeat : nn election; by the pcPple, and to throw it into Congress to be gainbled for there in a scene of strife such as was never witnessed-before. ... . And for what object? ;. Does either Bell,: or Douglas hope to be elected in the storm thus .raised? It would seeni in credible" that they wonld ; thus combine and uso if they did not hope, in some wiy, tc reach the prize. Bell and .Ilia followers doubtless have some indefinite hope, that by some desperate chance lie can be elected. And so witn ,Louglas and - bis backers. - But surely .no one, not blinded .; by . party, can have any expectation. But it is in view, of this' desperate fchance, that these parties are combining to defeat an election by the people. ;The Breckinridge party, or the leaders of it, who are- avowed disu- nionists''do not' expect" his election, Many pf them do . not desire it. Their .purpose and -aim bei a gi disunion, they hope-that, -if by combining with the Bell and Douglas factions to defeat an election by the people, they can so manage .matters, as, tp prevent an elec tion by the House, and in the confusion and strife thereby raised, they will be able to effect their treasonable purposes. The mutterings of the coming storm are heard on every' 'stump, "and through every paper" in'fh'e Interest'of ttesedes- I perate men, ..', - - , . And while, this treasons talks abroad in open daylight, men in Ohio, and even inIeigs County, who utterly con demn,; tl)C plot,: are, as we charitably trust, unconsciously, aiding the; plotters. For it must be apparent to every: man who permits his reason fpr a . moment, to rise above his prejudices,, that thrown ing . the election inta Congress is the most effectual ofi all possible : ways of aiding the designs of the 'disnnionists." And it cannot be less1 apparent that a vote in Ohio, or any other -Free State, for either Bell or Douglas, so far as it pan have any effect at all, can only: tend to defeat an election and aid the avowed purposes of acknowledged and confessed conspirators against the stability., and Union of theStatea. ;V ;. .','" vy ' Can yon, fellow-citizens, consent to be Used for guch prirposes? ,: On your allegi ance to your pountryr on your respon sibility to God we ask f you 4;o re-examine the position 'of the parties, and your own position, beibrevou "deppsit yoiir ballots. 1 Regret .will come too late after you have, deposited, your, vote!

We call the special attention of pur teaders .to, the card of the Republican Central Committee'published in another til voii iave fotLnd arid rekd'it! Of1 all moral delinoiuencies none is more repre hensible than a fraud upon the ballot box. It strikes---at the very vitals of free institutions Every citizen should .vote, his own free and unbiased choice; and the attempt to - obtain the? votes; of honest and itnsuspecting men by fraud nlent tickets, or any other mode of de ceiving the people, cannbt 'be too se- f erely rebuked.7 '' We have one of these spurious tickets before us. - It purports tp.be a; JtEPprB- wcax -TickjtI r.The name of the Re- j publican candidate for Attorney General (is falsely given as James Muray. j There is no such name on the Rcpubli- : can. or anv other ticket. All, therefore, S who vote this ticket will lose their vote j tor Attorney ueneral. , lho name printed in this ticket as the candidate for- Member" of the 'Boardof Public Works, is Levi Sagent. There is no such man as Sagent running for that office, rnd all such votes will necessarily be thrown out. The name of our can didate for County Auditor is given as -laoji Stivers. As there is no such man, of course the votes so given eannot be counted. The name of the Republi can candidate for County Treasurer is given as G. Grow. As the name of the Republican candidate is Geo. B. Grow, of course all who vote this ticket will be defrauded , out of their votes! The names of the Republican candidates for Supreme Judge, , Congress, Probate Judge, Commissioner, Coroner and In firmary Director, are given correctly. : But the names of H. L. Sibley, and S. S. Paine, the Republican candidates for Clerk and Recorder, are wholly omitted, and other names substituted in their places, as stated by the Committee... We trust that all true Republicans wil be upon thcirguard, and "not lose their votes by nieans of these spurious tickets. . : j : "IV 8, Since writing the above, other spurious tickets have come to light, in which the name of our candidate for Con gress is so printed as to render thcrii void! This, like the others, is" headed, "Repub lican Ticket." ; The names of Messrs. Sibley and Paine are omitted, and others substituted, and where Ttfr. Horton's name should be, is printed, ?' V. , B. Hoton." Of course such tickets could not be counted for Mr. Uorlon; and, as the contest for Congress is expacted to be "very close., if a few'such tickets could be imposed upon unsuspecting Repub licans, and they thus cheated out of their votes, Mr Horton might be defeated! Unwilling as we arc to attribute ' to a party a deliberate conspiracy to swindle the people out of their votes, we were at first inclined to attribute the' whole thing to the dough-headed stupidity of spme Democratic printer.' But there is so much, method iu the transaction, that it looks more like a "Kickapoo" affair than mere blundering. In the first place, the heading of the thing "Repub lican Ticket' ' is necessarily a fraud, de liberately perpetrated Ly someone, From this there is no possibility of escape.; Whoever engineered the thing intended to cJieal (lie unsuspecting. Of this there can.be no doubt. : For while purporting to be a Republican Ticket it has on it at least two names which are not on the genuine' ticket at all. 1 And while this part of the scheme stands a fraud con fessed, it is not uncharitable to suppose that the mis-printing of the names of the real candidates was a part of the origi nal plot. But whether done ' through villainy or stupidity, the effect is the same, and..oughtJko. .be-made to recoil upon the heads -of those who hoped to profit by it. - . Again we say, look well to your tickets before votin"! . Wre have now before us no less than four different kinds of these spurious tickets, all differing from each other," but all fraudulent! Some with Mr. Dlorton's name wrong, and most of the others correct.,; Some with the name of Mr. Horton correct and nearly all the others wrong, and some with all the names but one correct, but all of : them, leave out the candidates for Clerk and Recorder and interpolate others in their places. We do not know who is respon sible for this attempted wrong. " Some body has been at an uojgsual expense in getting up all these spurious tickets. Who pays the expense?. We. trust that the exposure of the plot by the com mittee, will insure the defeat of the plotters!" '" ; r. i THE THING OVERDONE.

The ladies of Pomeroy had very quietly raised f forty dollars, and with it procured a most splendid banner, and in the inornirig the secret leaked out that it was to be presented to the Wide Awakes at night. fcuch a stir as was the consequence, has not been witnessed before in our to wn of "salt and cinders." The news flew, as all secrets will; night came and with it the Wide-Awakesj and the "rest of mankind," with their wives, sisters and daughters. . And, truth cqm pels us to say that some, who .had no sisters or daughters . to bring, brought the sisters and da-ighters of other, people The Middleport Brass Band,' and several fifes and drums, discoursed pat riotic music'. .The Wide- Awakesmarchd and , counter-marched,.l,and with -their brilliantlamps, glittering j unifprni, and soldierly bearing; made -a- most imposing spectacle. The Court-Hduse being two small to hold any considerable portion of the crowd, the. meeting was held in front of it.

' Of the. speech it does not become us to speak. . But : the fact of such a;gathering, on snch short :notice shows that the public ; mind is alive; to the importance of the issues now before the peopleand gives a ' pleasing assurn ance that the triumph of the right, and the condemnation of the wrongs awaits but the day of election, to become manifested.1- x'!

Whereupon the : vuixixg.j ai.0 n .,! r rr -jj i ,1 i steamboat Tornado, purpose, and surrounded with barges to carry the living freight which could not find a foothold on the steamer, coasted from Midd'eport to Minersville, and brought in such a load of men, wo men and children as was never packed in the same1 space before. With bands of music, banners waving, flags streaming and Wide-A Wakes in uniform, the mul titude took up their march, about half past twelve o'clock, to 'the 6tand in the grove on Naylor's Run. We were utterly amazed at the mag nitude of the crowd. Instead of being what it was intended, a meeting of Welsh citizens only," it turned out to be one of the largest mass meetings of the season. Many; persons who attended both, say it was-larger than the great Democratic mass meeting of the week before, to get up which the county had been scoured and flaming bills posted for .weeks. The meeting at the stand approximated in numbers to the great Hassaurek meeting held at the same place some weeks since.: . It is true that there were not near so many voters pres ent, as a very large part of the Company were composed of women and children. And this was, in fact, one of the beauti ful features of the occasion. - ; - The day was pleasant. And the Welsh, being eminently a social people, came out in" mass, and , brought their families along. . Several addresses were delivered in i the Welsh language, and two or three in English. The utmost good order and good feeling prevailed throughout, and the meeting did not break up until a late hour in the after noon. The meeting was got up by our Welsh citizens, more for the purpose of showing their attachment for freedom and the right, than for the purpose of making converts among their country men. For, to their credit be it said, slavery and humbug finds no advocates among the Welsh. We are told that in all the Welsh population of our vicinity there are but two or three incorrigibly hard cases, who will vote against the in terests of their , adopted country. All the rest are true Republicans. And better than all, the swarming throngs of "little folks"' which are ever found in Welsh homes, are being trained in the r igb t way, and. will make good citizens, loyal to- the country, ..and true to free dom and right. to- . . -4 " LETTER TPROM HOST. THOS. E WING. All our readers know Hon. Thos Ewing. Since the disbanding of the Whig party, of which he was one of the ablest and brightest ornaments, Mr. Ewing has stood aloof from party organ izations. . He has never acted with the Republicans up to this year. He voted for Buchanan in 1856, hoping that from his age and position as a Pennsylvanian, he would at least try to administer the Government with a decent regard to the will, and wants, and wishes of the peo pie. 1 But, being so badly disappointed, he has re-examined the position of par ties, and on Friday is announced, and as will be seen by his letter, will make a Republican speech at Chillicothe. Mr. Ewing is now a firm Republican and supporter of Abraham Lincoln. We publish the . letter in the hope that it may set some friend of Mr. Ewing to thinking, and induce him, if he has nof yet. fully made up his mind, to consider what Mr. Ewing says of our candidate for Congress. The letter is addressed to. Hon. John Welch, in reply to one from him. It reads as follows: Kock Oak, Sept. 27, 180 My Dear Sir : . Before receiving" yours of the 18thv I had promised to deliver an ad dress in Chillicothe, in which wilL be fully set forth all that I could say in re ply to yours, except in so lar as it re lates to Mr. Horton.

Dear Telegraph Thinking it proba ble that your readers would be interested in knowing the facts as they really exist concerning -the Pike's PeaK. Mines, ..T with pleasure write them to you. I left St. Joseph on the 1 lth: of May We tpok the "Northern or F't. - Kearney route and I found it the best common road I. evet saw. . A beautiful rolling prairie 'country with here and, there a patch of timber meets the eye on either hand ' Flocks of frightened antelope go galloping oyer-, the plains and once in -a while a herd ot puflalo may .be seeen but generally some miles fromthe route yet the pilgrim to the Peak desires more to see the m'ountains than to join in the Bport bf the chase. ' We found ths city of , Denver quite a thriving town, nearly all - branches of business beings carried on; though her gambling halls are the jSrincijiial points of attraction. We in the latter place found the Citizens' Court trying a German for the crime of murder, whom they convicted, and on the next day' executed. From here we trav eled 15 miles' to Golden City, a. pleasant little place. of some 500. inhabitants. Here we employed a mule train to take us over on the bead waters of the Ar kansas, a distance of about a hundre l miles.J The road is better than" I expected to find . it, winding as it does through rocky cliffs and mountain gorges Sixty i mues orougni us io namiHuu, a vmago ' Situated on ! situated on tne ftoutn iorK. jz inis j Place 1 and three other8 left the traia and started across the Snowy.Kapge for Swan River, where we understood some late discoveries had been made. Coming on t0 the Swan, we found some miners at W01K' inouSn DUl one 8iUlw was 1U Peration- The three PrinciPal gushes it i - ""v" r-f Georgia and Humbus, all of which have within the last two months Droved to be i rich, ihe Georgia gulch 1 supppose is the richest gulch yet discovered. Stopping here a short time, we took our way to the town of Breckinridge, the head-quarters of the Blue River dig gings; here we found the river for sev eral miles staked off into mining claims, and numerous gulches in the same con dition. Probably not less than a thou sand men are located in and about the Blue; but I am confident that no less than nine hundred out of the thousand, after spending their time, 'money and provis ions, all to no purpose, were taken vio- ehtly with the blues, and with sad coun tenances, were to be seen offering to.work by the day in order to raise money to carry them home. I purchased an interest in six claims ocated on Niger gulch, (one of the best gulches the Blue can boast,)' and after we had cut a ditch more than a mile in ength, sawed lumber, made over a hun-- dred feet of sluice boxing, and worked the claims about two weeks, I become convinced it would not pay, and sold out at a discount of about a month's time and board; yet a few claims on this gulch have paid pretty well. My clothes, baggage, &c, being on the Arkansas, 1, in company with a 3Ir. Moore, took the trail for the head waters of that river. On our first day's travel (being the first of July), we crossed a range of great al titude, : finding ourselves at one time above the clouds! Here we found snow banks ten and twelve feet in depth . yet green lawns, covered with numer ous species of beautiful flowers, were there, watered by streams, of . sparkling ice-cold water:' At about dusk we found camp at what is called McNulty's gulch, which, has of late been found to be quite rich". "Th the" morning,' in try ing to find the trail, we become separated but by the aid of a pocket compass 1 made my way to California gulch, where found many of the claims paying largely, running both day and night Quite a town, had sprung up, and busi ness appeared-brisk. c-I have now men tioned the principal and best gulch dig gings yet discovered. The.quartz mines I have not yet visited, buf from what I can - learn the-majority ' of " mills"are not rpaying. i However, my opinion is, that a good quartz mill, well managed, with capital sufficient to drive a tunnel into the depths of the mountain or Jead, will pay well; and in fact no one knows how rich those leads are Until they are thoroughly tested. ; ' ;, Since I have worked in and traveled through the greater part of the mines, I have come to the conclusion that this is a very poor mining country; and this is not only my opinion, b"t- I find that all the old California miners vrith whom have talked entertain the same idea. There maybe rich mines here yet undis covered; but the mountains have been, and yet are, full of prospecters, and' the probabilities are that there are but few rich gulches or leads, yet unexplored. The papers here, and in many other in terested places, are using all their skil and influence to create and keep alive the idea that this is a great mining re gion ; but you can place no dependence in anything they say. : I have read in the Denver papers articles that I know are false made up of whole cloth--coh cernrng mines that I am well acquainted with and have lately worked iff. There is at present' quite an excite ment about silver leads, and I am led to . - - ' -f. . believe that some of them are rich, and will pay, yet nothing definite is, I be lieve, I yet; known cpneerning; them. Quite an excitement has arisen here within . the last few days.' It 'appears that a band of horse-thieves have . been doing a large business along the Platte and in the vicinity of Denver A vigilance committee was secretly formed, and commenced operating by hanging a man by the name of John Shear; his trial and execution was per formed after night, and the particulars are unknown to the public, except that a notice was found near the tree of his execution' Btating that he had been proven a horse-thief. . They next show their hand by taking A. C. Ford (alaw yer rwell known here) .'from the stage and leading him away, and his wherea bouts and doom is yet 'unknown to the people.' , Rumor says that several men whose names are, unknown,' have, been found hanging to trees. Such proceed ings have excited the people, to a determin ed oppbsition,ahtInrghtbeforelastameet ing was called which appointed a com mittee to draft a plan by which; those suspicibned of crime may have a7 public and fair Arial. From the speeches be fore 'the meeting, andbther demonstra tions of the citizens,' I am satisfied that the v vigilance committee wiii -be'put down, and if justice demands it they will, in all. probability, bo punished for any precipitancy or unwarrented cxecu tions which they have, brought about. There are plenty of vegetables in mar ketthe largest and nicest onions I ever saw are raised here. The land under cultivation is generally irrigated, as part of the summer is generally affected bv the drouth. In conclusion I would say tha Jhiscpuntry is not the place for man unless he hfts capital,- to be; sure tbere are a few who will make disco ve ries or stake a claim that will pay; but they are of the fewest number when com pared with the great : majority who go home penniless... .Time and capital may develop the mineral wealth of the moun- j tains here,'"so that, they will ofifer sub- stantial inducements to tnepieDes-oi tne : states; but as yet tbey had , better re- main at home:' j R.
